Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 pound ground beef
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 1 cup uncooked white rice
  • 2 cups beef broth
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) cream of mushroom soup
  • 1 can (10.5 ounces) diced tomatoes with green chilies
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 1/2 cups shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1/2 cup sour cream
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method
 

Preparation
  1. In a large skillet over medium heat, add the tablespoon of olive oil and allow it to heat up.
  2. Introduce the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it softens and becomes translucent.
  3. Add the ground beef into the skillet, breaking it apart with a spoon, and cook until the meat is browned and no longer pink, draining any excess fat if necessary.
  4. Stir in the garlic powder, dried oregano, and black pepper, mixing well to combine the seasonings with the beef and onion.
  5. Add the uncooked white rice into the skillet, stirring to coat it with the beef and onion mixture.
  6. Pour in the beef broth, cream of mushroom soup, and diced tomatoes with green chilies, stirring everything together.
  7. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let it simmer for about 20-25 minutes, until the rice is cooked through and the liquid has been absorbed.
  8. Once the rice is ready, remove the skillet from heat and mix in the shredded cheddar cheese and sour cream, stirring until the cheese melts and the mixture is creamy.
  9. Adjust the seasoning as needed and serve hot.

Notes

This casserole is a fantastic make-ahead dish. Prepare it the night before and pop it in the oven when ready to serve. Leftovers can be refrigerated for 3-4 days or frozen for up to 3 months. Reheat in the microwave or on the stove, adding a splash of beef broth or water if too thick. Feel free to experiment with different cheeses or add vegetables for extra nutrition.
